Home Businesses driving virtual office technology.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
(Free-Press-Release.com) July 30, 2003 -- They�ve embraced the internet and are dictating how to put it to work instead of working through it � a trend leaving many a NASDAQ giant green with envy.



Corporate �Road Warriors� have been dreaming of The Internet Office for the past few years - or is it called The Virtual Office nowadays? Whatever we decide to call it today or tomorrow, for most corporate employees it is still pie in the sky and will more than likely stay that way for the foreseeable future.

While office employees are queuing to use the communal coffee machine at the designated dining area, work from home entrepreneurs are making amazing fortunes running their internet based businesses while vacationing in Hawaii, or even from the kitchen table at home� basically from any place where they can access the internet. The only overhead is an internet access bill, there are no employees to pay, no need to rent office space � absolute Moneymaking Utopia.

The ever increasing demands placed on parents are getting people to seriously consider alternatives to corporate life. We see press releases about support groups for working parents popping up all the time like http://www.prweb.com/releases/2003/7/prweb74364.htm - the issues facing these people are very real but are not unique to parents. Corporate life for most people is extremely demanding and stressful due to its dictatorial nature. In contrast, owning and running a home business allows the flexibility to adjust one�s work life around family life and around an existing schedule � eliminating the stresses related to having a clock-watching manager on your back.

Groups like www.homeworksystems.com are helping people to set up home businesses with a proven track record. Other members of the home business community are content with just sourcing wholesale goods and then selling it off via www.ebay.com for a profit. In a strange twist, major companies and organizations, some of them NASDAQ listed, are offering help and solidly backing business affiliate websites run by ordinary individuals like www.slim-factory.com. Websites like www.wahm.com are targeting help at mothers who want to work from home with a partner site due for delivery to target fathers with similar goals.



Where we�re headed seems pretty much a clear cut path � seemingly established corporate giants are folding every day and staff layoffs are commonplace, whilst home based businesses are showing marked success. I guess with home businesses, its hard to lay yourself off, and probably even harder not be motivated to work, if your effort directly affected the size of your pay packet. If you think about this for a minute, then it makes sense that a booming market like this should drive and dictate how technology should work for us.
